To find the DNS Authority Record (SOA) for a DNS domain, you can use the dig
command with the SOA
option.
For example:
dig SOA example.com
This will display the start of authority (SOA) record for the example.com
domain. The SOA record contains information about the DNS zone, including the name of the primary name server and the domain administrator's email address.
You can also use the nslookup
command to query the SOA record for a domain:
nslookup -type=SOA example.com
This will display the SOA record for the example.com
domain.
For more information on the dig
and nslookup
commands and their options, you can refer to the documentation or use the man
command to view the manual pages.
